In a food chain, energy is passed through one link to another. When a herbivore eats only a certain fraction of the energy, (which comes from the food) it becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up by the herbivore in order to carry out its life processes (ex. movement, digestion, reproduction). It doesn’t necessarily threaten the plants survival, there’s also a benefit. When a animals poops out the fruit (defecate) in another area those seeds get carried to new places with the help of a dab of fertilizer and a little bit of moisture. They also help supply nutrients when they die and decompose.

Explanation:
We are asked to find how many kilojoules of energy would be required to heat a block of aluminum.
We will use the following formula to calculate heat energy.
The mass (m) of the aluminum block is 225 grams and the specific heat (c) is 0.897 Joules per gram degree Celsius. The change in temperature (ΔT) is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature.
- ΔT = final temperature - inital temperature
The aluminum block was heated from 23.0 °C to 73.5 °C.
- ΔT= 73.5 °C - 23.0 °C = 50.5 °C
Now we know all three variables and can substitute them into the formula.
- m= 225 g
- c= 0.897 J/g° C
- ΔT= 50.5 °C
Multiply the first two numbers. The units of grams cancel.
Multiply again. This time, the units of degrees Celsius cancel.
The answer asks for the energy in kilojoules, so we must convert our answer. Remember that 1 kilojoule contains 1000 joules.
Multiply by the answer we found in Joules.
The original values of mass, temperature, and specific heat all have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the tneths place. The 9 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 1 up to a 2.
Approximately <u>10.2 kilojoules</u> of energy would be required.
